Why is the mean path delay so high (hundreds of microseconds)?
Why is the mean path delay so high (hundreds of microseconds)?
The Precision Time service is provided over Equinix Fabric, which is a "non-PTP aware" network. You might see a mean path delay in the order of microseconds or milliseconds (in certain metros). However, both PTP and NTP account for the mean-path delay and control the synchronization precisely.
